Unequal Distribution

A number of facts that cannot be interpreted in terms of nuclear genes would seem to be interpretable in terms of cytoplasmic heredity. The hereditary role of the mitochondria has already been demonstrated in molds. The role of the cytoplasm (matrilineal heredity) has also been shown in some phanerogams, and analogous facts have been noted in insects and molluscs. In amphibians, the influence of an alteration of the egg cortical cytoplasm has been shown to reappear in the following generations. This cortical cytoplasm includes the morphological plan of the organism with its bilateral symmetry: mirror imaging in monozygotic twins would only be an extension of bilateral symmetry. In Tatusia novemcincta the twins may be morphologically or chemically different, which may only be explained by an unequal subdivision of a heterogenic cytoplasm. Similar facts are observed in human twinning. Monozygotic twins are usually discordant with respect to congenital malformations (especially symmelia and anencephaly), which may only be interpreted in terms of unequal distribution of cytoplasmic properties.

Background: Unmanaged gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases the risk of neonatal and fetal complications and the risk of congenital malformations. Apart from the medications used, non-pharmacological agents such as diet modification, exercise, and patient education can improve the quality of life in GDM patients. The present study was aimed to evaluate the role of patient counselling in the management of GDM in patents.Methods: Unmanaged gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases the risk of neonatal and fetal complications and the risk of congenital malformations. Apart from the medications used, non-pharmacological agents such as diet modification, exercise, and patient education can improve the quality of life in GDM patients. The present study was aimed to evaluate the role of patient counseling in the management of GDM in patents.Results: The result showed that there is a slight increase in the QOL of test population with GDM. i.e., there is no significant progression in the disease condition. The result showed that each domain, physical, psychological, social and environmental conditions were improved a lot when compared with the control group.Conclusions: Results suggests a positive impact of patient counseling on the management of GDM in patients.

Pretreatment Assessment

AbstractThree-dimensional ultrasound (3D US) is a modality of choice for prenatal diagnosis of congenital malformations. But 3D-four-dimensional US(4D US) is of utmost importance also to achieve pregnancy. 3D US plays an important role for diagnosis of PCO, to assess ovarian reserve and response and thus to decide optimum stimulation protocols. It adds to the information on follicular maturity and endometrial receptivity, thus improving the chances to achieve pregnancy for patients under treatment for fertility. 3D hystero-contrast-salpingography (HyCoSy) has also proved itself to be one of the best modalities for assessment of tubal patency. In this article, the role of 3D and 4D US is discussed for the following. I. Pretreatment assessment of the females desiring fertility which includes assessment of uterus and fallopian tubes. II. Monitoring of infertile females undergoing treatment. III. Assessment of very early pregnancy – especially in abnormal locations.
